Discover Canada With IHG

With Jennifer Valentyne

Happy Canada Day!

Leading up to Canada’s 150th birthday, the Intercontinental Hotels Group asked Canadians to reveal and share their favourite destinations across the country. On Wednesday night, they revealed the top contenders and the contest winner on the patio of the Intercontinental Yorkville.

The party was hosted by Jennifer Valentyne, who you may know from watching Breakfast Television or listening to Q107. You know I can’t say no to an invitation to meet more Canadian talent! Meeting her was lovely and it was interesting to hear about locations I was unfamiliar with. You know I always plan ahead for Labour Day far in advance (hello, birthday weekend!), and now I will consider going to one of these places next.

Below are some of the Canadian hotspots that made the cut:

Altona Sunsets, Manitoba

Bonnechere Caves, ON

Chelton Beach, PEI

Emerald Lake, Yukon

Ferryland Lighthouse, Newfoundland

Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia

Maligne Canyon, Alberta

Cherry Hill Gate, Ontario

Peak of ‘La Roche’, Quebec

Quidi Vidi, Newfoundland

Grassi Lakes, Alberta

Spotted Lake, British Columbia

The Red Boat, Nunavut

University Bridge, Saskatchewan

Nahanni National Park, Northwest Territories
